What does the Bible say about Jesus being our advocate?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is our advocate with the Father, interceding for us and ensuring our righteousness before God (1 John 2:1-2).
In 1 John 2:1-2, the Apostle John emphasizes the importance of having an advocate in Jesus Christ, who is not just our intercessor but also our righteousness. When believers sin, they have an assurance that their advocate, Jesus Christ, pleads on their behalf before the Father. He is described as the righteous one who is also the propitiation for our sins, meaning that He has satisfied the just demands of God's law on our behalf. This provides comfort and assurance to God's people, reminding us that our standing before God is secured in Christ, not in our own works.
